Full Company Name/Comments
(see comments above for each)

CHD

57.03

na

Church & Dwight Co. Inc. (CHD)

CHD -  It's a winner... This has obviously produced consistent, great earnings.  It's a company that I've been behind for a very long time... I like the kind of quiet, in the supermarket, kind of names... where they bought a lot of brands from others.  People may not know it, but CHD... you're talking about companies like, you know, Arm and Hammer... great toothpaste... and I think there's a lot there.  Those that don't know it... ChurchDwight.com.  You go right to the site...  You'll see all the things...

SOLF

21.88

na

Solarfun Power Holdings Co. Ltd. (SOLF)

SOLF -  I think people know that I have been too conservative perhaps, in talking about Chinese stocks.  I will tell you that LDK Solar Co.Ltd. (LDK), SOLF... These are the big solar plays.  I'm not going to fight anybody who wants to put one-fifth of their Mad Money... after they've put away their S&P Index money... into a speculative name, of which this is just as good as any.

LDK

44.35

na

LDK Solar Co.Ltd. (LDK)

LDK

HEV

na

Ener1 Inc. (HEV)

HEV -  This is fuel cells and batteries, and remember what we said... We like EnerSys (ENS).  We cannot get behind any other in that category yet that we've been able to find.  So that one I cannot endorse.  I'm sorry.

ENS

ENS

ATVI

32.99

na

Activision Inc. (ATVI)

ATVI -  I think it's had a big run.  I want to take profits on ATVI... Sell, sell, sell!...  It's had a very big run.  We do not believe that, at this level, it's sustainable...   (buzzer sounds)...  I have been on a jihad... that I'm not seeing enough people taking profits here in their winners.  I've been accosted by people lately, who liked the oils... they've taken nothing off.  I rang the register on ConocoPhillips (COP) for my trust today [Note:  Jim also just bought Wal-Mart (WMT*) today, although he is restricted from mentioning it yet.  See the entire list of stocks in his charitable trust here.]... I feel that some of these stocks, like ATVI, have had too much of a run, and I fear people giving back gains.  So let's ring the register, and be thrilled that we got that gain.

COP

92.56

na

ConocoPhillips (COP)

COP

STO

39.17

na

StatoilHydro ASA (STO)

STO -  STO has a checkered career, in terms of finding more oil, after a multiple-year run.  It is not my favorite oil.  I'd prefer you to invest domestically in natural gas.  I have to be very honest...  STO has not been a big finder and replacer of oil, which is what we look for with oil.  That's why we like our natural gas companies...  They keep finding more natural gas... As they price goes up, they get worth more and more...  This one, STO, feels to me like a wasting asset.  I can't get behind it, even as I like the oils, because it doesn't replace enough.

Symbol keys:

A Charitable Trust stock. - An asterisk next to a stock symbol indicates that Jim mentioned it is a stock that he manages within
his charitable trust portfolio.  You can see the complete portfolio
of stocks here >>

Thumbs up - indicates he would buy the stock or, at the very least, not sell the stock.  We do our best to interpret Jim's opinion on stocks, as we think it is indicated by his comments during the show.  Please read his comments to decide for yourself.

Thumbs down - indicates he has said not to buy or to sell the stock, based on his comments  We do our best to interpret Jim's opinion on stocks, as we think it is indicated by his comments during the show.  Please read his comments to decide for yourself.

Back up the truck - indicated by Jim, when he says the stock is so good, that he would do a 'mon-back' on the stock... In other words, this is the sound someone would say to a truck driver, "Come on back... " as he is "backing up the truck" to load up on his cargo.  Translation for buying stocks:  This recommendation by Jim indicates that, after you do your own homework on the stock, you should feel comfortable loading up on it, as it is in a good position to be bought at this point.

Stumped. - Of the 2,000+ stocks that Jim Cramer has in his head, for which he has an informed opinion, he sometimes comes across a caller with a stock he does not know well enough to opine on...  He then indicates he is stumped and will have to come back to it, after he does some homework of his own on the stock.  This usually occurs during the Lightning Round, when Jim does not know in advance who is calling, or what their stock question is about.
 

 
Definitions of key phrases used by Jim, known as "Cramerisms":

Definition:   'Pull the trigger' is Jim's phrase for making the decision at that point to trade - either to 'buy' or to 'sell' (although he usually uses the phrase for buying), as if to say you should feel comfortable enough to make the final decision without looking back...

Definition:   'Ring the Register' is Jim's phrase for selling a stock, and making it a final sale, that you should not look back on.  Put it behind you.

Definition:  'Let It Come In' indicates how you may wait for it to pull back, or have the stock price come down briefly, as your chance (after letting it come in) to buy the rest of your position (i.e., total number of shares you own in that stock).

Definition:  'backing it up' or 'doing a 'mon-back' is Jim's phrase for the metaphor of backing up a truck to load up on a stock by buying it.  'Mon-back is short for the imaginary worker saying, 'Come on back...' as the truck is backing up to receive its load... Notice that we use the little truck icon to indicate where Jim has mentioned this.  Translation for buying stocks:  This recommendation by Jim indicates that, after you do your own homework on the stock, you should feel comfortable loading up on it, as it is in a good position to be bought at this point.
